' SEWING MACHINE' I l Filled Sept. 19. 1931 8 Sheets-Sheet 8 Patentedug. 28, 1934 UNITED STATES SEWING MACHINE Alfred R. Morrill, Beverly,Mass., assignor to Unite-d Shoe Machinery Corporation, Paterson, N. J.,a corporation of New Jersey Application September 19, 1931, Serial No.563,735 37 Claims. (c1. i12-35) This invention relates to inseam sewingmachines and is herein shown as embodied in a machine adapted to sew theWelts and uppers to the insoles of welt shoes.

The object of the invention is to simplify the construction of sewingmachines of this class and render their operation more reliable anduniform in character.

In accordance with this object, one feature of the inventioncontemplates the provision of a simplified and improved driving andstopping mechanism of that type which acts by slowing the machine downto a definite speed and then by throwing into operation stopping devicesto 'bring the machine to rest. In the form shown, the driving andstopping mechanism is of that type which reverses the main sewing camshaft to prevent looping and stops the machine with the needle back freeof thread. In connection with the stopping mechanism, a positive stoparm or movable follower is employed, cooperating with an abutment on acam o'n the sewing cam shaft. The stop arm is brought to bear upon thecam before the cam shaft is reversed and is retracted from the cam asthe machine is restarted. The cam also serves to release the Welt guidefor contact with the work, to cause the tension to be applied to thesewing thread and to lock out of action certain control or trippingdevices for a welt cutter applied to the machine.

Another feature of the invention contemplates the simplification andimprovement of the welt cutter and welt cutter actuating mechanismstogether with the provision of novel control or tripping devicestherefor, including a welt measuring mechanism. The control or trippingdevices for the welt cutter are unlocked by the stop arm when operatedby the cam on the cam shaft in bringing the machine to rest and as afurther means for preventing the operation of the welt cutter during thesewing, a separate pawl operated by a. projection on the' cam shaft isprovided. The projection is suitably arranged to strike the pawl duringreverse rotation of the cam shaft and after the stop arm has acted tounlock the tripping devices so that the tripping devices cannot beactuated until the nal extreme angular movement Aof the cam shaft.Corresponding forward rotation of the cam shaft immediately releases thepawl and prevents operation of the tripping devices.

The improved welt cutter and welt cutter actuating mechanism are notonly simple and reliable in construction and operation but alsocooperate in a novel manner with the stitching devices which areconstructed and arranged to feed the welt with the shoe during formationof the initial stitches on a new shoe so that the welt does not becomedisplaced by movements of the shoe not imparted to the welt. In themachine herein shown, the needle is utilized in feeding the work and acontinuous feeding movement for the shoe and welt is produced byproviding a feed point or awl arranged to enter the work by firstengaging the welt, and mounted for separate feeding movements in timedrelation to the feeding movements of the needle.

Other features of the invention include an improved looper supportingand actuating mechanism and a novel and improved feeding adjustment forthe stitch forming devices, wherein the feeding movements of the needleand awl may be varied by moving slidable adjusting pivots along arcuateslots provided in oscillating arms connected between the cam shaft andthe respective feed slides for supporting the needle and the awl.Tracking of the needle in the holes formed by the awl is insured by soarranging the arcuate slots that their centers of curvature willcoincide with pivotal connections at the ends of operating linksattached at their opposite ends to the adjusting pivots.

The several features of the present invention above referred to andother features consisting of certain combinations and arrangements ofpartshereinafter described and claimed will be clearly understood fromthe following description taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawings, in which Fig. 1 is a view in side elevation of a sewingmachine embodying the improvements of the present invention;

The shoe machine illustrated in the drawings is adapted for sewing theupper and the welt to the insole of a welt shoe, and is provided withthe usual operating elements of a welt sewing machine, comprising acurved hook needle, a curved awl cooperating therewith, a looper, athread arm, a take-up, a welt guide, a welt cutter, a channel guide, anda back rest. Except for the omission of the back gage and the additionof a welt guide which rests yieldingly against the shoe during thesewing of a seam, the operation and construction of the stitch-formingdevices is substantially the same as that described in applicantsco-pending application for Inseam shoe sewing machine, Serial No.208,116, filed July 25, 1927. These devices are arranged and actuated tosecure a, continuous and even feed of the work, the *needle and channelguide being mounted on a feed slide to move together in the line offeed, While the awl is mounted on a second slide. In order to facilitatelthe handling of the work by the operator, and particularly during theinitial attachment of the welt to the shoe, the needle' and the awl arearranged to pierce the work from the outside so that in entering thework, they rst engage the welt.

.Themachine is driven by a motor (not shown) through a driving andstopping mechanism having high speed forward and low speed reversedriving connections. A shift from one connection to the other iscontrolled by the operator through a foot pedal or other convenientmeans which operates to stop the machine when released with the needleretracted from the work. Reversal of the machineduring the lastmovements of the stitch forming devices causes the needle to beretracted free of thread, and additional lsimplified and improved meansis provided for retracting the welt guide and cutting the Welt as themachine stops.

Referring more specifically to the drawings, the casing which supportsthe head of the machine and houses the operating mechanism is indicatedat 2 and may be mounted on a suitable column or other base (not shown).The operating mechanism and stitch forming devices (see I Fig. 8)carried in the head of the machine include a curved hook needleindicated at 4, an awl 6, a looper 8, a thread arm or finger 10, atake-up 12, a welt guide 14, a welt cutter 16, a channel guide 18 and aback rest 20. The main cam shaft 22 (see Figs. 5, 9 and 10) is mountedin bearings in the head of the machine and is driven in a forwarddirection from an electric motor through a gear 24 fixed to the camshaft and meshed with a worm gear 26 on a vertical driven shaft 28,.

The machine is provided with a driving and stopping mechanism for thecam shaft which is controlled by the operator and which actsautomatically, when thrown into operation, to stop the machine with theneedle retracted free of thread. This mechanism comprises a high speedforward driving connection to the motor which is in operation duringsewing and a low speed reverse driving connection which, in stopping themachine, is thrown into operation at a predetermined point in therotation of the main cam shaft. l

Forward rotation of the cam shaft is imparted through a high speedfriction clutch under direct control of the operator, which clutchcauses the vertical driven shaft 28 to be coupled to a continuouslyrotating shaft 30 arranged in alignment below the shaft 28. The shaft 30is connected by a clamp sleeve 32 to a motor driven shaft 34 supportedin a bearing in the bottom of the machine casing 2. The clutch forcoupling the vertical shaft 28 with the continuously rotating shaft 30comprises a driving part 36 and a driven part 38. The driven part isheld in alignment with the driving part by means of a radial bearing 40disposed between extending portions of the clutch, and relative movementof the clutch parts to control the rotation of vertical driven shaft 28is effected by a forked member 42 extending from a hub fixed to ahorizontal shaft 44. The arms of the forked member operate against athrust bearing plate 46 surrounding the lower end of the vertical shaft28. Rotation of the shaft 44 causes the clutch parts to be engaged andthe worm gear 26 to be rotated at variable speeds depending on thepressure applied between the operating parts of the clutch. The gear 26is formed with integral hubs 48 supported in bearings 50 in the frame ofthe machine and is splined to receive the vertical shaft 28 so that theshaft may slide with the driven clutch member as the clutch is engagedor disengaged by rotation of the shaft 44. The driven part 38 of theclutch is retained in disengaged relation with the driving part 36 by acompression spring 52 thrusting at its lower end against the upperbearing 50 and at its upper end against a collar 54 fixed to the upperend of the shaft 28. The spring 52 and the upper end of the shaft arecontained within a cupshaped member 56 (see Fig. 9) having a threadedportion 58 screwed into a cylindrical opening in the machine casing andhaving its lower end resting in engagement with the upper bearing 50.Access is provided to the compression spring 52 and the bearings y50 byremoving the cup-shaped member 56. The shaft 44 ``is rocked to engagethe clutch parts by means of an arm 60 extending from the hub whichcarries the yoke member 42. This arm is pivotally connected to the upperend of a. vertical link 62 (see Fig. 3) pivotally connected at its lowerend to the rearwardly extendf ing arm of a rock lever 64 fulcrumed onthe machine casing. The forward arm of the lever 64 is slightly curvedand extends over an opening 66 in the bottom of the machine casingthrough which a control rod 68 is projected. The movement of the controlrod is governed by a foot treadle (not shown) under the control of theoperator. Upward movement of the control rod 68 causes a correspondingdownward movement of the link 62 which rocks the shaft 44 until the yokemember 42 strikes the thrust bearing 46 engaging the forward drivingclutch to operate the machine in the normal Way.

The driving and stopping means is shifted to the low speed reversedriving mechanism by downward movement of the control rod 68 whichcauses the shaft 44 to be rocked in the reverse direction to release themain driven clutch part from the driving part of the clutch. The link 62is raised to release the yoke 42 from engagement with the clutch by arelatively strong springv bell crank and at its upper end to the lockingpin.

Movement of the arm '72 causes the locking pin to be retracted orreleased for throwing into operation the low speed reverse drivingmechanism.

Connections for driving the cam shaft 22 at low reverse speed comprise acontinuously rotating gear 82 (see Fig. 5) mounted to turn freely on abearing sleeve 83 for one end of the cam shaft and provided with aninner clutching surface 84. The cam shaft is driven from the gear 82 bythe frictional engagement of a driven clutch member 86 splined forsliding movement upon the cam shaft and normally disengaged from theclutching surface 84 of the' gear 82, through the action of acompression springv88 acting between the driven clutch member and acollar 90 xed to the cam shaft.

- The gear 82 meshes with a worm 92 carried on an inclined shaft 94journalled in the machine casing.I The shaft 94 carries'a pinion 96which meshes with and is operated through a bevel gear 98 mounted on themotor driven shaft 34. When the clutch member 86 engages the clutchingsurface 84 of the gear 82, the cam shaft is gradually slowed down by thebraking action of these parts in absorbing the energy due to themomentum of the cam shaft. After the forward movement of the shaft hasceased, the clutch acts to turn the cam shaft in a reverse direction ata comparatively low speed until the clutch is automaticallydisengaged,at which time the cam shaft lis brought to rest with the needle andother parts of the stitch forming mechanism in the proper posi-'-` tionfor the removal of the shoe. The mechanism for engaging and disengagingthe clutch member 86 from the gear 82 at the proper times in therotation of the cam shaft comprises a cam groove 100 formed in a sleeve102 extending from the clutch member 86. The groove is engaged by a rollon one arm of a bell crank lever 104 (see Fig. 6). The other end of thebell crank lever is provided with a hole 106 adapted to receive the endof the locking pin '78 which is held out of engagement with the leverduring normal running of the machine so that the lever may be oscillatedidly by the cam. The locking pin '78 is pressed intoengagement with thehole 106 by a spring 108 so that when the cam arm r72 moves upwardly tothe position shown in Fig. 3, the locking pin '78 is released andengages the hole 106 to stop the oscillation of the bell crank 104. Thelocking pin is mounted in the end of a slide 110 which is held in normalposition by a spring 112. The spring surrounds a bolt 114 extending fromthe forward end of the slide and is interposed between a shoulder on theslide and the inner end of a screw threaded sleeve 116. The bolt 114carries nuts 118 which engage the outer end of the sleeve and hold thespring under compression. l

When the treadle is depressed, the control rod 68 is forced upwardly andthe shaft 44 is turned until the locking pin has been withdrawn, the

yoke member 42 acts to engage the main forward driving clutch and causethe machine to be operated in the normal way. When the treadle isreleased, the spring forces the locking pin upward against the underside of the bell crank lever and as the hole in the lever registers withthe locking pin, the pin snaps into the hole, thus connecting the leverwith the slide 110. The cam groove 100 is so constructed that the holein the end of the bell crank is brought into position to register withthe locking pin at the proper time in the cycle of operations of thestitch forming mechanism. When the locking pin is engaged with the bellcrank lever, the lever is held from movement about its pivot and the camgroove 100 acting on the roll carried by the lever shifts the clutchmember 86 to slow down and reverse the main cam shaft. The locking pinenters the hole in the bell crank lever and the friction clutch isengaged while the needle is retracted and just before it begins itsadvance movement, and the forward rotation of the cam shaft is arrestedafter the needle has advanced and entered the work. The clutch then actsto turn the cam shaft in a reverse direction at a lowspeed until theshaft arrives at the point -where the cam groove 100 first acted toengage the members of the clutch at which time the reversely moving camacts to again disengage the clutch members.

According to the present invention, the cam shaft is brought to a finalstop by a positive stop arm or movable follower acting on a cam xed tothe sewing cam shaft. The follower, indicated at 124 (see Figs. 9vand10) is mounted on an arm 126 extending from a hub 128 loosely mounted ona horizontal shaft 130, rotatable in the machine casing. The follower124 rests, during the rotation of the cam shaft in the reversedirection, on the surfaces of the cam 132. The outside surface 134 ofthe cam is uniform and produces no-move ment of the follower 124. Thecam is also provided with a surface 136 inclined inwardly towards thecenter of the cam and with a lip portion 138 forming with the surface136 a slot arto positively control the movement of the follower after ithas once entered within the cam slot until the cam shaft has rotated ina forward direction through a sufficient angle to allow the follower 124to clear the lip 138. The inner end of the slot between the cam surface136 and the lip 138 is formed with an abutment portion 140 forpositively arresting the rotation of the cam shaft by engagementwith thefollower 124 as the cam shaft is rotated in a reverse direction. Thetiming of the parts is such that the follower 124 comes into contactwith the abutment 140 just after the cam shaft reaches the point wherethe cam groove 100 acts to disengage the members of the low speedreverse driving clutch during its final movements, so that the cam shaftwill rotate a short distance under its own momentum and will bepositively stopped by engagement of the abutment 140 with the follower124. Reverse rotation of the cam shaft while the needle is in engagementwith the work causes a correspond'- ing reverse movement of the looperfor the needle, permitting the needle to be withdrawn from the work,free of thread.

Other operations, including the retraction of thc welt guide fromcontact with the work, release of the tension on. the thread, and theunlocking of control devices for permitting subsequent operation of thewelt cutter, are performed by movement of the follower 124 within thetransverse slot on the cam 134. The stop arm 126 is moved to disengagethe follower 124 from Contact with the cam 132 during the operation ofthe machine by the high speed forward driving mechanism by the operationof the foot treadle in shifting to the forward driving mechanism. It isallowed to engage the cam shaft under spring pressure by operation ofthe foot treadle in shifting from the forward high speed mechanism tothe reverse low speed mechanism. By this arrangement, a more positiveand exact control is afforded and the other operations performed bythe'cam follower may be timed more closely to take place at the exactstopping point of the sewing cam shaft.

The cam follower 124 is resiliently pressed into engagement with the cam132 during reverse rotation of the cam shaft by a spring 144 carried onthe link 62 which connects the horizontal shaft 44 with the foottreadle. The spring is supported at its lower end by a collar 146 xed tothe linkA 62 and, at its upper end, the spring acts against the forkedend of an arm 148 fulcrumed loosely on the shaft 130. The thrust of thespring 144 is transferred to the follower arm 126 by a pin 150projecting from the side of the arm 148 and resting against a shoulder152 extending from a hub 154. The hub is formed with a key and slotconnection 156 (see Fig. 5) coupling it with the hub 128 of the followerarm 126. The pin 150 is released from contact with the shoulder 152 byrotation of the shaft 44 in shifting to the forward from the low speeddriving mechanism by an extension 158 from the arm 60 to which the upperend of the link 62 is connected. When the foot treadle is depressed, theextension 158 is brought to bear against the upper surface of arm 148and move the arm downwardly. The follower 124 is not released fromcontact with the cam 132 until the cam shaft has rotated in a forwarddirection suciently to allow the follower to clear the lip 138. Thus,the follower arm is positively actuated by the cam and prevents returnmovement of the parts which it actuates or controls before renewedoperation of the stitch forming devices.

The welt guide 14 is retracted from contact with the'work by movement ofthe follower 124 within the cam slot through the action of an arm 162(see Figs. 8, 9 and 10) extending from the hub 154 toward the rear ofthe machine. 'Ihe welt guide 14 is mounted for movement toward and fromthe work in a circular path corresponding to that of the needle byparallel links consisting of a link 164 pivoted to the guide at itsforward end and fulcrumed on the machine casing and of the downwardlyextending arm of a bell crank 166 pivotally connected to the rear end ofthe guide and fulcrumed on a stub shaft 168 extending from the machinecasing. The other arm of the bell crank 166 is provided with a pin 170which extends into thev path of movement of the arm 162 operatedr by thecam follower 124.y During connection at the rearward end of the weltguide` and a pin 174 extending from the machine casing.

Tension on the sewing thread is normally controlled by the operation ofa thread tension wheel 178 (see Figs. 1 and 2) of the usualconstruction, having a brake drum 180 engaged by a brake member 182. Thebrake member is pivotally mounted at 184 to one arm of a bell crank 186fulcrumed loosely on a shaft 188 journalled in the machine casing. Theother arm of the bell crank is pivotally connected to a vertical bolt190 extending through an opening in the upper side of the casing 2. Theupper end of the bolt is threaded and is provided with a thumb nut 192for adjustably compressing a spring 194 surrounding the bolt. 'Iheaction of the spring 194 against the nut 192 causes the bell crank 186to thrust the brake 182 against the drum 180, producing a suitabletension on the thread as it is withdrawn from the tension wheel. Thebrake member 182 is released from engagement with the drum 180 by theaction of the cam follower 124 on the cam 132, as the machine is broughtto rest, by a nger 196 extending from the bell crank 186 and overlying arod 198 slidable in the machine casing. The other end of the rod ispivotally connected to an arm 200 extending from the hub 154 operated bythe cam follower. As the follower 124 enters the slot in the cam, thearm 200 is rocked to thrust the rod 198 against the nger 196 to causethe brake to be released from the brake drum on the thread tensionwheel. As the machine is restarted, the rod is withdrawn andthe brakeagain applied.

During the sewing, each stitch is set up by the take-up 12 which isconstructed in substantially the same manner as in applicants co-pendingapplication, above referred to. The take-up is fixed to the shaft 188and is actuated by a cam groove in a cam disk on the sewing cam shaft.This cam groove engages a cam follower on the rear end of the take-uplever and is shaped to actuate the take-up lever positively to set thestitch. The take-up lever is acted upon by a spring 206 coiled aroundthe shaft 188, one end of the spring being arranged to act on an arm 204fixed to the shaft 188, and the other end of the spring being connectedto an arm 208 pivotally mounted upon the shaft 188 and held in positionby a manual adj usting screw 210. The tendency of the spring 206 is tourge the outer end of the take-up lever upwardly to exert a yieldingtension on the thread between the tension wheel and the work, and thecam groove which engages the follower at the rear end of the take-uplever is shaped to permit this action of the spring after the take-uphas been actuated positively to exert a stitch setting strain on theseam. The take-up is thus permitted to yield as the needle reaches thelimit of its retracting stroke.

Apparatus for severing the Welt after the machine has been brought torest comprises the welt cutter 16 having gripping and severing elements(see Figs. 11 to 15). The welt cutter is can'ied on a reciprocatingslide 214 mounted in a guideway 216 inthe machine frame and is providedwith a relatively stationary jaw 218 and a pivotally mounted jaw 220.The jaws 218 and 220 are resiliently retained in separated relation andare brought together to grip the welt.

vThe slide 214 is reciprocated by an independent of the slide andengaging 15C a recess in the adjacent side of the slide. Whenv the slide214 reaches the forward end of its movement, a screw 226 threaded intothe under side ofthe slide strikes an abutment on the guideway 216 tostop the movement of the slide. At the same time the ball 224 comesopposite a recess in the guide 216. Continued movement of the rack 222causes the rack to be unlocked from the slide 214 and the slide to belocked to the guideway by the ball 224. At' the same time, the forwardend of the rack strikes an arm 228 pivoted concentrically with the jaw220 and connected with it by means of a spring 230. The jaw 220 is thusyieldingly closed towards the jaw 218 and as -the rack v222 continues toadvance, a knife 232 attached to the end of the rack moves against andsevers the welt held between the jaws.

The rack 222 is operated by a gear 234 (see Figs. 5 and 8) fixed to theleft end of the shaft 130 upon which the follower arm 126 is fulcrumed.The other end of the shaft is provided with a similar gear 236 meshingwith a gear segment 238 pivoted loosely on a shaft 240. The segment 238is oscillated by an eccentric 242 having a pitman 244 pivotallyconnected with the segment. The eccentric is fixed to a shaft 246 havingbearings at the right side of 4the machine. The shaft 246 is rotatedintermittently by a gear 248 rotating loosely on-the shaft and meshinglwith a similar gear. 250 formed integrally with the continuously drivengear 82, rotating on the sewing cam shaft. The gear 248 may be connectedto drive the shaft 246 through a Horton or other one-revolution clutchon the driven part ofwhich there is provided a latch 252 normally tensedoutwardly to engage a stop arm 254.' The stop arm is fixed to a shaft256 journalled in the right side of the machine casing and attached atits outer end to an arm 258. The stop arm is held in a p osition tostrike the latch 252 on the one-revolution clutch by a spring 259 actingbetween the arm and the casing. Rocking of the shaft 256 swings the stoparm 254 away from the latch 252 on the one-revolution clutch, releasingthe clutch and causing the eccentric to be rotated through onerevolution. The shaft 256 is rocked by the operator in removing the shoefrom the machine after the machine has been brought to rest by causing amovement of a welt measuring device 260.

The welt measuring device is connected to the arm 258 fixed to the shaft256 by a link 262 pivotally connected to the welt measuring device atone end and connected to the arm 258 by means of a pin and slotconnection. The slot is provided with a shoulder to thrust against ascrew 264 and a cam portion 266 is formed on the link to engage the hubof the lever 258, so that, after the arm 258 is moved downwardly, theshoulder in the slot will be vraised from engagement with the screw 264(see Fig. 4) and the stop arm 254 will be released to normal position inorder to prevent more than one revolution of the eccentric.-

The Welt' cutter is locked out of operation by a positive movement ofthe cam actuated follower arm 126 and is held locked out of operationduring sewing. As the machine is started from a` stopped position, thecam follower 124 moves outwardly from the cam shaft to cause a U- shapedlug 268 extending from one side of the follower arm 126 to engage a pin270 on an arm 272 fixed at one end of the shaft 240. The other end ofthe shaft 240 is provided with a key portion engaging a slot 276 in thehub of the stop arm 254 (see Fig. 5), so that when the arm 272 is heldfromrotation, the stop arm 254 may not be released from theone-revolution clutch. When the machine again comes to rest, thefollower 124 is moved inwardly toward the cam shaft and the locking lug268 is disengaged from the pin 270.

. The welt measuring device 260 acts to grip and rotate with the weltand during rotation by the movement of the welt in removing the shoe thestop arm is released from the one-revolution clutch. lThe welt measuringdevice acts to grip the welt by means of a gripper 278 (see Figs. 3 and16) actuated by a plunger 280. The plunger be-ars against the end of anarm 282 loosely pivoted on a stud 284 fixed4 to the casing 2. The arm282 carries at its central part a pivoted pawl 286, which bears againstthe right end of the cam shaft, under the action of a spring 288stretched between the pawl and the arm. The cam shaft is provided with aprojection 290 arranged to act, in the stopped position of the shaft,against the end of the pawl to actuate the gripper in the welt measuringdevice to grip the welt. As soon as the welt is gripped, the weltmeasuring device may be rotated to release the onerevolution clutch foractuating the welt cutter, but, as this does not occur until the finalextreme angular movement of the cam shaft, just prior to the engagementof the abutment on the cam 132 against the follower 124, the welt cuttercannot be operated until the cam shaft has practically stopped. The pawl286 is released from the projection 290 on the cam shaft imme-y diatelyupon renewed operation of the stitch forming devices, so that the weltis released from the gripper of the welt measuring device in ample timeto permit feeding movement as the seam progresses.

The welt cutter operates through a continuous movement to grip, severand release the welt, vbeing advanced and immediately retracted, leavingthe end of the welt extending free from the welt guide. As the machineis started in operation on a new shoe, the loose end of the welt isengaged by the needle which then passes through the lip of the insole toreceive the thread. Before the needle withdraws from the work, the awlengages the welt and the feeding movements of the needle and awl areimparted to bothy the welt and the shoe so that there can be nodisplacement of the welt with relation to the shoe. The needle thenreenters the work through the opening formed as soon as the awl iswithdrawn, and the initial stitch is completed. Satisfactory initialattachment of the welt with the present welt cutter is thus effected byemploying a feed mechanism the work feeding instrument or instruments ofwhich first engage the welt in entering the work.

The stitch forming devices are arranged to facilitate initial attachmentof the welt by mounting the needle 4 and the channel guide 18 on a slidehaving bearing sleeves projecting beyond the journals which supportthem. A feeding movement is imparted to the needle by two levers 304 and306 (see Figs. 6, 7 and 8) pivotally mounted respectively on stub shafts308 and 310 and engaging at their forward ends with slots formed in thebearing sleeves of the needle slide. The levers are connected togetherby a link 312 and the lever 306 is provided with a rearward extensionpivotally connected at 318 to a link 320. The other end of the link 320is connected to an adjusting pivot 322 slidable in an arcuate slot in anarm 324 pivotally mounted on the stub shaft 308. The center of curvatureof the arcuate adjusting slot lies in the pivotal connection 318 whilethe needle is in its extreme lateral position after being back fed andthe arm 324 is 0perated to move the needle and channel guide in theirfeeding movements by a cam on the sewing cam shaft. The needle isactuated to pierce the work by a link 326, connected at one end to theneedle segment and at the other end to a lever 328 fulcrumed on ahorizontal shaft 329 and operated by a cam on the cam shaft. The awl 6is mounted on a slide in a similar manner, having bearing sleevesoperated by two levers 330 and 332 which are pivoted, respectively, onstub shafts 334 and 336 and are connected together by a link 338. Thelever 332 is provided with a rearward extension pivotally connected at340 to a link 342. The other end of the link 342 is connected to anadjusting pivot 344 slidable in an arcuate slot in an arm 346, pivotallymounted on the stub shaft 334. The center of curvature of this arcuateadjusting slot lies in the pivotal connection 340 when the awl hasnearly reached its extreme advanced feeding position and is aligned withthe needle. At this point in the feeding movement the awl is beingwithdrawn from the work by a link 348 connected to a cam actuated lever350 and the needle is being projected into the work. 'Ihe lever 350 isfulcrumed on the shaft 3 29. The feeding movements of the needle and awlmay be adjusted by loosening the adjusting pivots 322 and 344, slidingthem to the desired position in their respective slots and clamping themin their new positions, the changes in effective lever arms resulting inincrease or decrease in individual feeding movements. however, theneedle will always enter the work in the hole provided by the awl sincethe arcuate slots dene centers in the pivotal connections of theirrespective links, while the needle is entering the work. The distancesfrom all points in the arcuate slots to the respective pivotalconnections are the same at this time so that the same positions will beassumed by the needle andawl irrespective of their individual feedingadjustments, and the needle will always track the awl in entering thework.

For mounting and operating the looper 8 a Y- shaped support 352 'isprovided upon which the looper is fixed at an angle to the plane of theSupport. At its forward end the support bears against a finished surface354 onthe machine casing and at its central portion a flat bearingsurface 356 for the support is formed on the link 338 connecting thekawl feeding levers 330 and 332. The remaining `divergent arms 358 and360 of the support are each connected by means of a universal joint 362to one of two actuating arms 364 or 366, fulcrumed to the fixed shaft329. The universal joints are constructed with socket portions at theends of the arms 358 and 366 and cooperating ball members mounted at theends of pins 368. The pins are vertically adjustable in the actuatingarms by releasing clamp bolts 370 which normally secure the pins inposition in holes formed in the arms, so that the surfaces 354 and 356will provide the proper guiding action for the looper support. Theactuating arms 364 and 366 are operated by followers engaging cams onthe sewing cam shaft .to impart independent movements to the actuatorsand to move the looper in a closed path about the needle as it is pro-Jected through the work.
